While results from CoolSculpting are not immediate, they are permanent, and reaching them does not require the risks or recovery associated with other more invasive body contouring treatments.

Are There any Risks with CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is nonsurgical, so it will not have the same risks as procedures such as liposuction. However, some patients may experience mild soreness, minor bruising, and temporary numbness. In some of the cases studied by the FDA, pain medications were necessary for a small period after CoolSculpting. This occurred in roughly one out of every 100 procedures, making it rare, but not impossible.

During your CoolSculpting consultation with Greenwood plastic surgeon Dr. Ted Vaughn, potential risks can be discussed in more detail. Dr. Vaughn would also be happy to answer any questions you may have and help you better understand the benefits and limitations of this treatment during your visit to our office.
